It's a beautiful day outside today in harm city, and if you weren't told, you would never believe snow and Ice are bearing down on us tomorrow or the next. We have uncontrollable weather spirits here In Baltimore. We all become accustomed to their mercurial changes. It's part of the charm.
In today's look at my grandfather's record collection we have Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli singing together live. I was always in love with Liza Minnelli. I had a bunch of childhood crushes. I think I may have been 9 or 10 when I first saw Cabaret. It left a lasting impression on me. Liza could be the Betty Boop of her age. Her mother Judy Garland was the Dorothy of her age. I always loved Judy's voice. Her struggle in life always made me feel sorry for her. Child stars are vulnerable to the hungry beast that the movie industry is. The story, although common, is no less painful and I think it stands to these women's strength and determination to live beyond it and rise above it.
In a more jovial light, lets go back to 1964.
